On my Liverock curing tubs, yes I use tubs instead of tanks for curing liverock. I run TRUE 420nm actinic fluorescent bulbs, 2x40w 24/7. I dose with purple up every other day. I normally would start with one piece from my show tank thats totally covered with Coraline, then place it with a bunch of dead rock and in about 2-3 months, all of the deadrock is live rock with good growth. Oh yeah, I also dose/feed the rock Spectra-Vital. Liverock will not live without food. You can really make your liverock come alive when you feed it.
Hope this helps you. |
